Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a hot-pressed member, a cold-rolled steel sheet for hot pressing, and production methods therefor.
  • Hot pressing is a forming method that involves heating a steel sheet to a temperature range of austenite single phase and then forming (working) the steel sheet maintained at high temperature to achieve forming with high dimensional accuracy, and cooling the steel sheet to quench it after the forming to achieve strengthening. With hot pressing, the residual stress after press forming is lower than that in the case where cold pressing is performed, so that the delayed fracture resistance is improved.
  • JP 2015-113500 A discloses a technique of improving delayed fracture resistance by controlling the precipitation amounts of alloy carbonitride and cementite.
  • JP 2014-122398 A discloses a technique of improving delayed fracture resistance by forming retained austenite after hot pressing.
  • WO2019/003539A1 discloses a hot-pressed member, a cold-rolled steel sheet for hot pressing and manufacturing methods thereof.
  • excellent delayed fracture resistance denotes excellent delayed fracture resistance not only in the base metal but also in the resistance spot weld portion. Specifically, “excellent delayed fracture resistance” denotes the following: In the evaluation of the base metal in the below-described examples, no fracture occurred even when the base metal was immersed in a test fluid for 100 hr under a load of 1000 MPa, and in the evaluation of the weld in the below-described examples, no peeling was found even when the weld was immersed in a test fluid after a load was applied.
  • the present invention is based on these discoveries. We thus provide a hot-pressed member, a cold-rolled steel sheet for hot pressing, a manufacturing method for a cold-rolled steel sheet for hot pressing, and a manufacturing method for a hot-pressed member as defined in the appended claims.
  • the automotive body By using a hot-pressed member according to the present invention as a member for an automobile, the automotive body can be reduced in weight and thus the fuel efficiency can be improved.
  • the presently disclosed technique therefore has high industrial use value.
  • C is an element effective in strengthening, and is important in order to ensure the desired volume fraction of martensite after hot pressing and enhance the strength of the member. Moreover, in the present invention, C is important in order to cause granular carbide serving as a hydrogen trapping site to be present in the member and improve the delayed fracture resistance.
  • the C content is therefore 0.31 % or more.
  • the C content is preferably 0.32 % or more.
  • the C content is 0.55 % or more, the delayed fracture resistance of the base metal decreases. Moreover, the volume fraction of granular carbide after annealing and hot pressing is excessive, and the delayed fracture resistance of the weld portion decreases.
  • the C content is therefore less than 0.55 %.
  • the C content is preferably less than 0.45 %, and further preferably less than 0.42 %.
  • Si 0.01 % or more and 1.0 % or less
  • Si is an element that contributes to higher strength by solid solution strengthening ferrite. If the Si content is excessive, the chemical convertibility degrades. The Si content is therefore 1.0 % or less. The Si content is preferably 0.8 % or less. Although no lower limit is placed on the Si content, extremely low Si content causes an increase in costs, and accordingly the Si content is 0.01 % or more.
  • Mn 1.0 % or more and 2.5 % or less
